Reminisce

I lye winds are whispering
On a bed of packed snow
I speak, no one's listening
And time, it moves slow
As I gaze upon lines of crystalline trees
I'm adrift in a dream, of things that may be

I stand, the sun is shining
On a pier aside a lake
I look to reflections, blinding
As waves so gently break
I find myself focused on moments all passed
Each day brings a challenge, and time it moves fast

I sit, walls a prison
From this chair I never rise
Confined by age not decision
A younger man always denies
That he one day would silently miss
Going outside to reminisce

Well Joe, I missed this one!:( A very profound man you be, Joe Incatasciato! Melancholy. It would be heart wrenching to remain seated indoors when there's so much happening outside. Beautiful imagery, this fills the senses "winds are whispering".."reflections, blinding". The beauties of nature. No one could ever feel truly alone. Best to you and yours, love, Mikki
